CHARLEST0N'S STATUE.
cATHoUN'S MEMORABLE FUNER-
Al 81 YEARS AGO.

rr,a Pointeirn ent During the War
When the Fall of Charleston was I'M
,7ainent-The Movement Which Re-
s,,lted in the Monumental Brief Out
line Of the Great Statesman's Career
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 5.-To-morrow
will be a great day in this city. The prepa-
ratious for the unwilling of the statue of
John C. Calhoun are upon the most extern
siva scale With the life and public services
If Nh. Calhoun the readers of the MORNING
NEWS are familiar. His funeral took place
in Charleston just thirty-seven years ago,
and if was the graudest civic and military
naqeant that has ever been seen in this city.
The remains, which were inclosed in me
tsIlic coffin so constructed as to fit the form
of the body, were inferred in the cemetery
of St Philips church III brick vault,
which was covered with a plain marble slab
bearing the simple name Calhoun.
There it remained until, when the war
was at its height and sectional strife had
reached the bitterest point, the fall of
Charleston seemed imminent, and it was
feared, unhappily with too good reason,
So,1therner would be a chosen object of in
silt and indignity. To avoid such posi-
bility a few gentlemen in Charleston deter
mined to remove the body from Its tomb
bv night and secretly inter it i'll another
SPOT. One who was present thus describes
the scene:
| was mysteriOusly summoned at night from
the camp, where We were watching the sea line
70 St Philips church At the porch few men
were assembled. We We're told that the coffin
was already disinberred and was in the church
shall never forget the scene as we entered
One candle showed the black coffin placed
in the vestibule with two or three men standing
near In profound silence it was lifted and
carried down the middle aisle and through the
north door to the churchyard, the single light
horne before it Just bringing out the white
salient points Of the architecture amidst the
black shadows, and making the familiar scene
as strange As the face of the corpse of a friend
But to us who had seen the almost apotheosis
of the great statesman in that very temple, with
eloquent words, and rolling music, and the
proud wall Of Carolina for her dead son, it
seemed as if we heard the sigh of the gods TAX
ing their departure from the doomed city.
THE COFFIN DIsINTERRED.
Shortly after the war the coffin was disin-
TERED and quietly replaced in the tomb.
In 1888 the Legislature appropriated the
sum of So, 900 for the erection of the sarcoph-
agus which now incloseS the remains
The marble slab which covered the tomb
was taken into the vestibule of st. Philips
church and leaned against the wall In the
great earthquake Of last August it was
thrown down and broken in two just above
the inscription. The vestry of the church
have recently had it placed against the
north wall of the churchyard near the
spot where Mr.. Calhoun's remains were in
TERED during the war, with an appropriate
inscriptiOn.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-04-26

At the conclusion of the funeral cere-
monies a procession was formed and pro
ceeded from the Citadel square down
Boundary now Calhoun to King street,
through King, Hasel and Meeting streets to
the Battery, and thence up East Bay to
Broad street. Arriving at the City Hall
the body was deposited in a magnificent
catafalque, where it remained in state until
the next day, under charge of the guard
of honor. The next morning at
10 O'Clock a civic procession was
formed under the direction Of tho
marshals, and the body borne on
bier by the guard Of honor to st. Philips
church, where, after the singing of an
anthem, the burial service was read by the
Rt. Rev DR.. Gadsden, Bishop of the do
cese, and an eloquent funeral discourse
preached by the Rev. James W. Miles.
The body was then borne to tomb Of ma
sonry, lined with cedar erected in the west
ern churchyard, in which it was deposited
and covered with a massive marble slab,
simply inscribed with the name of "Cal-
houn."

April 20, 1881
Stand forth, stern patriot. calm, severe,
As in thine hours supreme elation,
When eager Senatcs thronged to hear,
The voice that thrilled listening nation.
Step from thy civic chair; receive
The homage which thy people render,
The best that grateful hearts can give
To keep thy memory fresh and tender.
Our City by the Sea. while yet
Disaster lays its grasp upon her,
Remembers her inviolate debt
OF pride and reverence, love and honor.
Her spires may rock her towers may fall
Her centuried grandeur sink and perish
Her homes be rayaged, roof and wall,
And ruin blast what most she cherished
Yet while one spot stands firm and fair,
Safe from the elemental riot
Well place our patriot-warder there,
sublime In his majestic quiet
Through life his watch knew no surccase;
What then, II in the far Elysan,
Through the clear atmosphere Of peace,
He holds US still In vatic vision!
The eye so keen to note the wrong
The voice so firm for law and order:--
Shall we not own their guidance strong,
FROM mountain crest 10 ocean DOfuef.
With reverence for the power that led
Ills mind 10 each profound conviction,
We bow beneath hls Hand oltspread,
And here receive his Oenediciion.

His whole consistent life, complete
